How do you feel? Interoception: the sense of the physiological condition of the body.
TLDR
Functional anatomical work has detailed an afferent neural system in primates and in humans that represents all aspects of the physiological condition of the physical body that might provide a foundation for subjective feelings, emotion and self-awareness.Abstract:
As humans, we perceive feelings from our bodies that relate our state of well-being, our energy and stress levels, our mood and disposition. How do we have these feelings? What neural processes do they represent? Recent functional anatomical work has detailed an afferent neural system in primates and in humans that represents all aspects of the physiological condition of the physical body. This system constitutes a representation of 'the material me', and might provide a foundation for subjective feelings, emotion and self-awareness.read more

Increased self-focus in major depressive disorder is related to neural abnormalities in subcortical-cortical midline structures
Simone Grimm,Jutta Ernst,Peter Boesiger,Daniel Schuepbach,Daniel Hell,Heinz Boeker,Georg Northoff,Georg Northoff +7 more
TL;DR: First evidence is presented that the abnormally increased negative self‐attribution as hallmark of the increased self‐focus in MDD might be mediated by altered neural activity in subcortical‐ cortical midline structures.

Touching and feeling: differences in pleasant touch processing between glabrous and hairy skin in humans
Francis McGlone,Håkan Olausson,J. A. Boyle,M. Jones-Gotman,Christopher Dancer,Steve Guest,Gregory K Essick +6 more
TL;DR: The present findings are consistent with the hypothesis that pleasant touch from hairy skin, mediated by CT afferents, is processed in the limbic‐related cortex and represents an innate non‐learned process.

Neural mechanisms of the influence of popularity on adolescent ratings of music
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to elucidate the neural mechanisms associated with social influence with regard to a common consumer good: music, and found that song popularity had a significant effect on the participants' likability ratings of the songs.

Interoception and psychopathology: A developmental neuroscience perspective
TL;DR: Atypical interoception may cause onset of psychopathology in adolescence and interoceptive changes may underlie socio-emotional changes in late adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased intrinsic brain connectivity is associated with reduced clinical pain in fibromyalgia.
TL;DR: It is suggested that intrinsic brain connectivity can be used as a candidate objective marker that reflects changes in spontaneous chronic pain within individual FM patients and could potentially be used in either research or clinical settings as a complementary, more objective outcome measure for use in FM.

The Principles of Psychology
TL;DR: For instance, the authors discusses the multiplicity of the consciousness of self in the form of the stream of thought and the perception of space in the human brain, which is the basis for our work.

Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain
TL;DR: The authors argued that rational decisions are not the product of logic alone - they require the support of emotion and feeling, drawing on his experience with neurological patients affected with brain damage, Dr Damasio showed how absence of emotions and feelings can break down rationality.
